  • Passive cooling modules are known per se and may for example consist of or comprise a liquid-filled plastic container, the liquid filling having a suitably fixed freezing point and, after freezing, being able to extract the latent heat required for thawing from the environment.
  • the shape of the passive cooling module is preferably chosen so that it can be exchanged as it is or inserted into a holder 3OC (FIG. 15A) for the active cooling module 20.
  • the passive cooling module 30 can be wrapped in the waiting position by a heat protection cover 3 OA in order to minimize the loss of cold.
  • Such passive cooling modules are of independent inventive importance and also advantageous than in cooling and Zapfan angelen such as drum coolers used.
  • the second sheath module 10B is provided with an edge recess 17, which on the one hand has or can serve as a viewing window, so as to obtain control over the presence or absence of a passive cooling module in the bottom recess.
  • the edge recess 17, with a corresponding cross-sectional configuration serves as a tap aid, in particular for receiving a drinking vessel below the tap 14.
  • the cross section of the edge cutout 17 is matched to the lower cross section of the edge cutout 13 of the first jacket module 10A, as in FIGS. 11A 11C and 12B can be removed.
  • a drinking vessel can thus be received on the bottom surface 9 within the outwardly cross-sectional widening edge recess so that the beverage is collected from the tap 14 without further notice.
  • FIG. 13 is a drum cooler without floor module.
  • the single sheath module 10A is made a little longer than in the first embodiment, so that it can sit with its lower edge strip 12 directly on a floor 9, on which also the beverage keg 1 is seated.
  • the bottom 9 is preferably from a tap stool formed, so that to accommodate drinking vessels under the tap 14 sufficient space remains. As long as no drink is tapped and the cooling arrangement is only kept in readiness, beverage keg 1 and sheath module 10A can also stand on a non-elevated surface.
  • drum cooler in both variants of a drum cooler it is possible in a simple manner to transport the individual components, including the beverage keg, separately and then to join them together, since the sheath module 10A only needs to be put over the beverage keg 1.

  • FIGS. 14 to 16B are variants of the embodiments according to FIGS. 11A to 13B for a plurality of storage containers of refrigerated goods, in particular for party beverage kegs.
  • FIG. 14A shows a view from below of a two-vessel cooling arrangement which receives an active or passive cooling element in corresponding openings above each barrel, wherein for each beverage barrel 1,2 an independent tap 14 is provided in a corresponding edge recess 13.
  • the taps are arranged diametrically opposite in this embodiment.
  • Figures 15A to 15C show a two-pass cooler in a slightly modified manner compared to Figure 14A.
  • the difference consists essentially in the fact that the two tapping points are arranged next to one another, that is to say on one broad side of the jacket module 10A, or that at least one tapping point is missing.
  • this embodiment shows that the sheath module 10A may be provided with unequal cooling elements instead of the same - here an active cooling module 20 on the one hand and a passive cooling module 30 on the other hand, wherein in the second sheath module 10B, a passive cooling module 30 in corresponding heat shields 3OA and an electrical supply module, such as recharging module 60 or a power rectifier are housed.
  • the recharging module may be an electric battery charger, while a mains rectifier directly supplies a DC powered cooling unit via an electrical power supply; or the recharge module has a dual function of serving as a charger for charging the passive cooling module or as a mains-powered DC power supply for the active cooling module.
  • FIG. 16B shows a four-barreled beverage cooler with taps at all four corners. Otherwise, the illustrations correspond to the aforementioned embodiments. Incidentally, a dummy plug 40 can be seen in FIG. 16B, so that not all four openings of the jacket module 10A have to be equipped with cooling elements.
  • the invention allows in the simplest way, inexpensive to manufacture cooling arrangements for large containers and possibly modulardeanomdungen. If desired, they can be adapted to the respective requirements, whereby the production costs can be kept comparatively low. If a plurality of storage containers are accommodated in a single modular cooling arrangement, the interior space 18 forming the jacket modules is preferably continuous, so that all interior areas can be cooled together.
  • cooling or cooling holding arrangements as heat or warming arrangements by using active heat modules or passive heat modules instead of the active or passive cooling modules in a manner known per se.
  • cold storage as a heat storage or replace with such or turn over or umzupolen thermoelectric cooling elements, ie, to swap the hot and cold sides with each other.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de refroidissement pour une marchandise à réfrigérer contenue dans des récipients de conservation, en particulier pour au moins un tonneau de rempli de boissons destiné à des soirées, comprenant un revêtement (10) présentant ou non des orifices de distribution, destiné au récipient de conservation, lequel comprend un manteau d'air (18A) entre lui-même et le récipient de conservation, et au moins un élément de refroidissement (20, 30), lequel permet de refroidir le revêtement et est placé dans une brèche du revêtement. Le revêtement comprend également au moins un module de revêtement (10A) supérieur thermoisolant, rigide, destiné à recouvrir ou à entourer partiellement au moins un des récipients de conservation. Le manteau d'air (18A) est placé, de préférence, dans le sens de circulation, autour de la surface totale du récipient de conservation, et l'air de circulation est dirigée à chaque fois par l'intermédiaire d'un échangeur thermique (20C') refroidi de manière active.
